The thoughtful Soul to Solitude retires, 
Where the White Hand of Moses 
I on the Bough 

Puts out and Jesus from the Ground sus-

Your Winter- garment of Repentance

The Bird of Time has but a little way 
To flutter — and the Bird is on the Wing

Fledges the River's Lip on which we

Ah, lean upon it lightly! for who knows 



From what once lovely Lip it springs un

Alas, that Spring should vanish with the 

Rose! 
That Youth's sweet-scented Manuscript 

should close ! 
The Nightingale that in the Branches 

sang, 

Ah, whence, and whither flown again, 
who knows !

And look — a thousand Blossoms with the 
Day 

Woke — and a thousand scatter'd into 
Clay: 

And this first Summer Month that 
brings the Rose 

Shall take Jamshyd and Kaikobad away.

Lo! some we loved, the loveliest and the 
best 

That Time and Fate of all their Vintage 
prest, 

Have drunk their Cup a Round or two 
before, 

And one by one crept silently to Rest.

Look to the Rose that blows about us — 
"Lo, 

Laughing," she says, "into the World 
I blow ; 

At once the silken Tassel of my Purse 

"Tear, and its Treasure on the Garden 
throw."

Whereunder crawling coop't we live and 

Gdie, 
Lift not thy hands to It for help — 
for It 

M Rolls impotently on as Thou or I.

While the Rose blows along the River 
Brink, 

With old Khayyam the Ruby Vintage 
drink: 

And when the Angel with his darker 
Draught 

Draws up to Thee — take that, and do not 
shrink.

pass 
Among the Guests Star-scatter'd on the 

Grass, 
And in thy joyous Errand reach the 

Spot 
Where I made one — turn down an empty 

Glass !
